La Plata Rail Days 2026 -- Eastbound mixed-manifest slips through

Getting later in the day on Sunday and here's an H-train, a priority mixed-manifest rolling through, eastbound. Since the majority of trains here on BNSF's southern transcontinental route are intermodals and container traffic, it's always nice when a manifest or a unit train slips into the pattern. All mixed-manifests seen on this line are "priority" manifests or H-trains in BNSF parlance and are typically going great distances. General manifests on other BNSF lines are "M" trains, regular manifests or mixed-consist trains. La Plata Rail Days is once again an official annual gathering of railfans and train aficionados bound together by a love of trains and our shared community on the live-chat on YouTube for Virtual Railfan's popular cameras at La Plata, which sees 60+ trains pass each day.
